AOtools -- a Python package for adaptive optics modelling and analysis
M. J. Townson, O. J. D. Farley, G. Orban de Xivry +2
AOtools is a Python package which is open-source and aimed at providing tools for adaptive optics users and researchers. We present version 1.0 which contains tools for adaptive op…
Optimizing the accuracy and efficiency of optical turbulence profiling using adaptive optics telemetry for extremely large telescopes
Douglas J Laidlaw, James Osborn, Timothy J Morris +8
Advanced adaptive optics (AO) instruments on ground-based telescopes require accurate knowledge of the atmospheric turbulence strength as a function of altitude. This information a…
Optimizing astrophotonic spatial reformatters using simulated on-sky performance
Theodoros Anagnos, Robert J. Harris, Mark K. Corrigan +7
One of the most useful techniques in astronomical instrumentation is image slicing. It enables a spectrograph to have a more compact angular slit, whilst retaining throughput and i…
Simulation and Optimization of an Astrophotonic Reformatter
Th. Anagnos, R. J. Harris, M. K. Corrigan +7
Image slicing is a powerful technique in astronomy. It allows the instrument designer to reduce the slit width of the spectrograph, increasing spectral resolving power whilst retai…
On-sky demonstration of matched filters for wavefront measurements using ELT-scale elongated laser guide stars
A. G. Basden, L. Bardou, D. Bonaccini Calia +18
The performance of adaptive optics systems is partially dependant on the algorithms used within the real-time control system to compute wavefront slope measurements. We demonstrate…
Experience with wavefront sensor and deformable mirror interfaces for wide-field adaptive optics systems
A. G. Basden, D. Atkinson, N. A. Bharmal +56
Recent advances in adaptive optics (AO) have led to the implementation of wide field-of-view AO systems. A number of wide-field AO systems are also planned for the forthcoming Extr…
